Larry K on playing CV and Yi together
Quote:
But now, in the last two games, coach Larry Krystkowiak has provided glimpses of a possible new twist in the rotation: playing Yi and Villanueva together in certain situations. But contrary to what some might expect, they were not manning the two forward positions together. When Krystkowiak has played Yi and Villanueva at the same time, it has been at power forward and center.
"You could say that we have a two-headed power forward," said Krystkowiak, whose 7-4 team sits atop the Central Division by percentage points. "I'm not sure that they couldn't both start playing at the same time . . . depending on matchups and stuff, they may be able to play (power forward and center)."
Villanueva and Yi played together briefly in the second quarter of Saturday night's 97-95 victory over Dallas at the Bradley Center, when the matchups looked favorable. And they played the final 2 ½ minutes of last Wednesday's victory over the Los Angeles Lakers, when Krystkowiak wanted to take advantage of the duo's foul-shooting ability.

Villanueva, Yi an effective pairing
I'd love to see more of this, it could really give the Bucks a big offensive punch eventually.
